Using $variables in custom dialog script

[Rebel Minion]

I want my user to be able to enter something that will then be entered in records in the same field.

The best way to do this seemed like creating a variable in my script, then having the user enter that value.

However, the custom dialog script step does not seem to have a provision for me to enter a variable name to hold this data till its used - its only letting me select fields in my tables.

Is there a workaround anyone is aware of?

Or is there a better way of doing this?

I can always fall back on just creating a field for this one bit of data, but I would like to embrace these new features where I can.

Thanks,

... use a global field..

... embrace away... variables can make things a lot easier in terms of scripting and storage of temporary data, they're also a but quicker... but dont try to over embrace you know what im saying? the globals still have their advantages..

Ok... just seemed like an elegant possibility.
